Charities

FARM-Africa was founded 25 years ago to help poor farmers and herders in Africa to grow more food, keep their livestock healthy, make a basic living and manage their resources in a sustainable way.

FARM-Africa has proven that, with the right training and support, poor rural communities can identify and implement appropriate solutions to many of the key problems they face. Families are directly supported to help work themselves out of poverty through improved ways to mange their crops, livestock, forests and access to water.

Although the shops are now full of food in Zimbabwe, most people can not afford to buy it because of the high prices! There has been much food aid to Zimbabwe recently but this has created some problems of dependency. For this reason, ZANE is focussing on projects to facilitate the creation of sustainable communities in the high-density areas surounding Harare and other major cities.

There are some 6000 old aged pensioners in Zimbabwe.
Their position is desperate and grows worse daily. Some are in receipt of devalued pensions from the Zimbabwe government; but the rate of inflation is out of control and the elderly have no way of keeping pace. ZANE is providing personalised means-tested care for desperate Zimbabwe pensioners.
